It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting commenting on the recent rugby results, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Goatacre and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another job in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Wiltshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Goatacre (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They will fix any of the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
